The thing that bugs me the most about that show and most of the other home shows is that they always seem to do the same thing. They take a beautiful old house that needs some TLC and start knocking down walls, taking out claw foot bathtubs and very cool old fixtures and remodel it to look like it was just built. If you want a house that looks new, than buy a new house! I can't tell you how many times I sat cringing, watching while they ruined a beautiful old house. Open floor plans are not for everyone and even may be a passing fad, yet that's really all they do. It's the same thing with the kitchens. Beautiful old cabinets that need some refinishing are torn out and beautiful classic tile countertops and back splashes are demolished. They've even torn out lovely old hard wood floor and replaced them with laminate, LOL. What a pity.
One of the shows I will watch is Rehab Addict because it seems she at least tries to keep the old houses as original as possible.
Great show, the two guys are funny. I wish I had an eye for decorations/layouts like they do.
I need to get them to help me out with my house with their killer ipad software. It seems like they know exactly what layout to put for each house.
I prefer this show to house hunters (unrealistic home buyers haha)
Agreed! They're awesome...
I also like that the refer to themselves with "Mr". It's nice to see polite gentleman on TV! Unlike that crazy from DYI Josh Temple! He's so loud and obnoxious!
I have said this before and I will say it again - I'm tired of seeing people wrestle with old toilets and tear down walls. I wish there were more shows on decorating, how to layout furniture, how to mix styles, decide color palates etc.
I do too.
I wish there were some shows where they would take, say a living room and decorate the same space with different options.
Not sure how you could work in the drama, but I bet the Property Brothers could figure it out.
I like the Property Brothers, too but you see one show, you have seen them all. What really gets me is that at the beginning of the show, they always show the people a house they can't afford and they are always surprised at that. Don't they ever watch the show to know they are going to be shown a house they can't afford? I'm waiting for someone to say, "Oh, is this the time you show us something we can't afford?"
And they ALWAYS have to take out a wall somewhere in the house.

It must be for the drama, that wall removal thang. What I do, especially when working with other trades, is cut the seam line with an Olfa knife, score the drywall screws with the knife, back off the screws with the drill, and NO DUST AND no drama. Clean, dust free, and safe.
They'd find me really boring on TV.

Every house show takes out a wall
